This rule identifies various indicators of Mimikatz execution, including specific command-line arguments, file names, suspicious access to the LSASS process memory, and the creation or loading of malicious services or DLLs associated with Mimikatz. It aims to detect credential dumping activities and persistence mechanisms often employed by attackers.

This rule detects multiple TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) associated with advanced adversaries, including QEMU virtualization abuse for defense evasion, creation of malicious scheduled tasks (specifically 'TPMProfiler'), rogue account or service creation (e.g., 'CtxAppVCOMService' or 'AppMgmt' service via 'sc.exe'), port forwarding/tunneling commands (using 'ssh' or 'portproxy' with specific ports), credential access attempts via 'vssuirun.exe' or printing 'NTDS.dit', and potential DLL sideloading involving 'ADNotificationManager.exe' and 'vcruntime140_1.dll'. It also includes IOCs for specific IPs, domains, and file hashes.

This rule detects file creation, modification, or renaming events related to 'TieringEngineService.exe' in the 'C:\Windows\system32\' directory, or process execution of 'TieringEngineService.exe' running as the 'SYSTEM' account. This activity could indicate suspicious system-level operations or potential abuse of a legitimate Windows component.

Detects execution of devcon.exe with commands that disable the VMware Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) device.
This can be legitimate during VMware Tools troubleshooting or driver conflicts, but may also indicate malware attempting to hijack communication with the hardware via the VMCI device.
This has been used to facilitate VMware ESXi vulnerability exploits to escape VMs and execute code on the ESXi host.

This rule detects the creation or modification of services, registry keys, or driver loads that exhibit characteristics associated with the ValleyRAT malware. Specifically, it looks for services or registry entries pointing to executables in common temporary directories (Users, ProgramData, Windows AppData\Local\Temp, or \Temp\) and driver loads from similar temporary paths. It also includes a specific check for drivers signed by 'Shandong Anzai Information Technology' and known SHA256 hashes associated with ValleyRAT. The rule excludes legitimate Symantec AV components and a Lenovo signed driver to reduce false positives.
